Happy early Valentine’s Day from Gen Z Unplugged 💌

In this fun and thoughtful Valentine’s special, we’re talking everything from dreamy date ideas and “talking stage” confusion to healthy standards and our favorite conservative couples.

We share practical (and realistic) dating advice for Gen Z women, reflect on examples of strong marriages like Ronald Reagan & Nancy Reagan, and highlight modern couples like Allie Beth Stuckey, Isabel Brown, and JD Vance & Usha Vance who show that marriage can be joyful, supportive, and faith-filled.

Whether you’re planning a candlelight concert, making heart-shaped pancakes, hosting Galentine’s, or navigating an undefined “talking stage” — this episode is for you.
